Mediastan (2013)
The real Wikileaks movie
13 October 2013 - 8 out of 12 users found this review helpful.
An intriguing journey into the interface between journalism and the state; Wikileaks associates travel through Central Asia and the West talking to news managers about news and secrets.
Perhaps surprisingly, viewers with their minds already made up on either side of the Wikileaks/Manning/Assange debates will find plenty to reinforce their views. The open minded, after a sometimes slightly comical tour of heavily managed news outlets in various -stans in Central Asia, are quietly invited, without preaching or polemic, to consider just how different are the famously 'free' presses of the West.
Along the way: some neat travelography, lots to think about, and I suppose a little bit of history captured being made.
